Specialist note

Lionel Edwards hunted with 91 different packs of hounds across the country, and his deep understanding of the sport is reflected in his pictures. By 1933 he was living in West Tytherley, Hampshire, and regularly visiting other packs. The present group of drawings are of the Atherstone South, now amalgamated into the Atherstone Hunt, based in South Leicestershire and North Warwickshire.
